CHANGING THE PLAYER: Charleston Pirates #1 by Chance, Jacob (digital e reader TXT) 📕

Max steps forward with his camera. “Okay, let’s get some pictures of the two of you. Face each other and angle more toward me. People are going to want to see that ring. Now, whisper something romantic to Nadia.”

I lean closer, staring into her eyes. “I chose tonight to propose to you because if we lost the game it would still be the best night of my life.”

And the next day the headlines read...

Epilogue Flynn

“Get ready for a big push, Nadia,” Dr. Williams says in an encouraging voice.

Nadia shakes her head. “I can’t.” She’s exhausted. I can see it in her bloodshot and watery eyes and the drawn look on her face. It’s difficult to see her this way, but my wife is a fighter.

“You can do it,” the doctor encourages.

“Honey, you’ve got this,” I reassure with a soothing caress to her head.

“No, I don’t. I want to go home,” she cries. I make the mistake of laughing but cut it short when Nadia hits me with a vicious death glare. It’s not like we can head home in the middle of delivering our child.

She considers me enemy number one right now for “putting this baby inside her.” Even though she wanted a baby more than anything in the world. I try to be the best husband I can and give my wife whatever she wants, and somehow when she gets it, I’ve done something wrong. I hope this is just pregnancy logic and not something that’s permanent. I have no plan to stop spoiling her. She deserves the best, and it makes me happy to give it to her.

“Nadia, I want you to give this push everything you’ve got,” Dr. Williams tells her.

“I hate you,” she replies, and I snicker. “Flynn, what are you laughing at? I’m talking to you.”

I can’t be upset with her and the way she’s behaving. Growing another human seems to be a nightmare. She’s a mass of hormones, with a vagina that’s stretched from here to kingdom come right now. I can’t even look past her face because it’s not something I ever want to see. My smile widens at the absurdity of the situation. Yet despite all of that, I’ve never seen my wife look more beautiful. I’m the luckiest man alive.

“Doc, you gotta get this baby out, so my wife can be sweet again,” I joke. Clearly I have a death wish.

He laughs behind his mask, covering it up with a cough. “It’s time to push, Nadia. Push. Push. Push.”

Gritting her teeth and growling, she tries so hard the tendons in her neck bulge under her skin. She shrieks with the effort and falls back to the pillow beneath her, spent and breathing heavily.

I rub a wet cloth over her forehead, mopping up the perspiration. “You know what I just thought about, honey?” I ask.

“I don’t care,” she snips.

Ignoring her, I continue. “I just realized that being a dad will change my life in so many ways. Every joke I tell from now on will officially be a dad joke.”

She manages to find the strength to roll her eyes. “How fucking profound.”

“Want to hear a pizza joke? Never mind, it’s too cheesy,” I say, grinning. “Figured I should get one last ‘pre dad’ dad joke in while I can.” Before Nadia can curse me out, the doc tells her to push again.

I squeeze her hand. “You’ve got this.”

“Aaaayaaa,” she yells, scrunching her face up from the massive effort she’s giving. She collapses back on the pillow and we hear a baby cry. It’s the most amazing sound ever. We both look toward the doctor, waiting to see our baby for the first time.

“Here’s your beautiful baby girl.” He holds her up and sets her down on Nadia’s chest.

“Oh my God, Flynn. She’s beautiful.” Nadia sobs out the words.

“She’s perfect.” I brush my hand over the abundant black hair covering her head. It’s the softest thing I’ve ever felt. “Thank you,” I say to Nadia. “I love you so much.”

“I love you. I can’t believe she’s here.”

“Do you have a name picked out?” one of the nurses asks.

Nadia and I look at each other and smile. She gives me a small nod, encouraging me to share the one we chose.

“Her name is Mishka. It means ‘gift of love’.”

Darren and Kendra’s story, Kissing the Quarterback, will be releasing soon.

You can add it to your TBR NOW

He’s the bad boy quarterback of Boston University's football team. As the son of a former NFL player, he’s showered with attention and praise twenty-four-seven. One flash of his smile and all the girls fall at his feet - or should I say to their knees?

And then there’s me.

Brady Lincoln is the last person I want attention from. He’s the kind of guy my father warned me about. His play on the field is legendary and his play with the ladies, even more so. I’ve managed to stay off his radar until recently.

What happens when the cocky quarterback breaks all the rules to win my heart?

Prologue Brady

AUGUST

Grimacing at the sting of her long nails digging furrows into the skin on my back, I thrust my cock into her. She moans in my ear and her hands move down to grip my ass. Her legs squeeze my hips like a vise as I pound into her harder and deeper.

I’m surprised by how good a fuck she is. A lot of the time I find easy pussy is lazy pussy, but she’s proving to
